Those stupid bloody blood cards - ooooh what an irritation - and to think how many children have given up their lives to this blood thirsty god.

NEW BLOOD CARD DIRECTIVE...
by SkyGreen inthe husband just gave me the new march km (im using it folded up as a coaster at the moment) and a new "blood card" to complete, along with a copy of a set of instructions for how to fill it out and a letter from wts to every baptised publisher.
i said to him "i wont be needing that" and gave it back to him, and he just said, well just throw it out then - no overreaction yay :o) without telling him, about a month ago, (i tore up my existing no blood directive.
our kids have never carried around "identity cards" we were never that diligent about it).

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
CHORUS
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same -

Tec - Everyone else - we are all entitled to believe what we will. Tec's experience with god / christ proves to her that he exists and that he is all that she believes him to be - respect that as her experience. Personally I do not believe in a god, I do not put my belief in a man that existed 2000 years ago and knows nothing of me - my experiences in life have lead me to that conclusion - and I would like people to respect that.
That's it for me...play nice every body.

Hi guys - made it through the night! That's a good thing. You know if I'm going to exist this world I want to kinda do it on my own conditions and not at the hand of someone else.
My grandfather was never a witness, not into any religion. He has always been a very horrible man, beating his wife and two children, many a time they would run off and hide in the bushes or run to neighbours - he would assult the neighbours - but nobody held him accountable and he continued to get away with his horrific treatment of people. When people first meet him, he charms the socks off them. You then start to see that he just wants to either get something from you, do something for him, manipulate you, use you.
I am fortunate in that somehow I was blessed with an old wise soul (I can be silly and have fun) I had to grow up and take responsibility and learn to stand up for myself from a very young age (5/6) I am very independent by nature (some say to a fault, but I'm learning) When I got old enough I would not take his crap and would tell him that we he came at me. On the occassions he does lash out at me I have always stood my ground but as per family wishes let things go/etc. However the last straw was last year when my gran had to go into hospital - she asked me to pay the light bill and to keep her purse as she new my grandfather would take her money for the horses (I had just moved in) He grew so violent, pushing/shoving me, calling me every filthy dirty word under the sun. I stood up to him and told him I wasn't afraid of him and his loud voice and filthly language, and if he so much laid a hand on me I would call Townhill and get him re-admitted. I slept with a panga (huge chopping knife) under my bed for days after that.
A week later in front of the whole family (he likes to create a scene where he looks like he is doing the right thing) he came to shake my hand and say let's put it behind us. I told him I wasn't interested in shaking his hand but that he needed to change his attitude - since then we haven't spoken until yesterdays' incident.
He deliberately sets up things to create a reaction....e.g I have been asked to always close the bathroom door so that the cat doesn't poo in the bathroom - So I do. He will always open it, so that when the cat does poo, he can fly off the handle. He will lock me out of the house - though I have a key, he'll deliberately leave another key in the door so I can't open it. If I open the kitchen windows or doors because it's stuff, he'll slam them shut, if I rake the garden and put the leaves in bags, he rips them open again.....I could go on and on.
If I could afford to move out, but my finances have taken a huge drop and I clear enough to pay my board, my car insurance, life insurance, food, petrol and the few bills I have. I have learnt to control my anger and my emotions and just plod on. I do very much want to get out and I'm sure I will one day.
Thank you so much for your well wishes and suggestions. I'm putting on a dead bolt tonight.

hey villagegirl - i had to move back home after a job opportunity fell through about a year ago (i moved from one company to another and it bombed) so i now rent a room from my grandmother and no, i don't have children.
as for grants and financial aid - they do not grant them to people like me as i do not fit the racial profile. i do have skills and have been in the professional arena for 17 years, jobs are very difficult to come by as companies have to take on specific racail groups - that is our law. i do currently have a job but it doesn't pay enough to get a place on my own. i am constantly looking though.
good news - after i had been home for 4 hours i came back to see the key was in the door - he may have had a spare made. i will be putting on a dead bolt for extra security

Did Jesus have lawyers covering his Ass ?
by smiddy inisn`t it amazing how the wtb&ts has a legal body, made up of course by baptized jehovahs witnesses , on their payroll, does that constitute a conflict of interest ?to defend accusations /allegations brought against them by former members of their own religion ?.
how so called christianity has changed.
your comments are always appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'll be heading home in about 10 min or so....a little nervous as my room has been open the whole day and I know he is a malicious man. Took the safe keys and my imporant documents with me.
Colbalt - I was zen like
Splash - he took the key and refused to give it back to me screaming that it's his home and he has a right to beeeeeeeeeeeep do what he bbeeeeeeeeeep wants beeep beeep beeep beeep
pickler - next time I'll phone the mental institution - I have warned him once about that.
Searcher - oh for sure - he is a big bully and he thinks the louder you shout and the more in your space he gets you'll cower and back off. I told him that I wasn't afraid of him (though I was a little shakey inside)
rubadub - I'm SA and I am looking. In a couple of weeks I'll be house-sitting so that will get me out of the house for a month - in the meantime I'll keep my ears and eyes open for a room to let.
Jgnat - I just try keep a cool head not let anger rule me.
Cagefight - ok that made me laugh. The thought of poisoning him creeps up now and again.
Roberta - goting to get a case file opened against him.
My mother was initially upset that I had called the cops but texted me later on the day saying she was proud that I stood up to him and in such a calm, dignified manner.

if there is a god......he has forsaken me / we are an experiment (like a little boy with a magnifying glass and we are the ants). I have been on hands and knees just about my whole life imploring him to show me the way, to care for me, to love me. What I got was 29 years in a cult, irreversably hurt over the years, shunned, violated, robbed, stolen from, disappointed on so many levels....he never belived in me, why should I believe in him.
There is no loving god in the heavens that holds your life / your dreams / your best / in his hands. The bible is mans' word passed down as sacred. Sure there are life lessons in it, I can get the same life lessons from reading Lord of the Rings.

I remember it mentioned that by the time the dinosaus were created the earth would have been like a huge jungle and were needed to clear away all that foliage and when their job was done Jah would have killed them.....
